- Sense of humor and an appreciation for my somewhat strange sense of humor :)
- Intelligence (ain't necessarily lotsa schoolin')
- Soccer/tennis body and general athleticism (oh come on, you know you have your physique ideals, too)

soccer and tennis, huh? that's interesting... not being particularly athletic myself, i never really saw myself with an athlete, unless he was extremely well-rounded in his interests. like a runner who also paints or plays drums or writes (or all of the above). it would be a lot of hard work for me to connect with someone for whom sports is a major part of life...
there honestly hasn't been a lot of physical consistency in terms of the guys i've been attracted to. so it's hard for me to say this feature or that would be more attractive to me than another. i'm pretty subjective about my tastes in that area. i guess everyone is.
Clarification - they don't have to play those sports (though tennis would be nice). That just tends to be the look of the guys I often find myself attracted to - until other factors take over, at least. But, unlike you Candyce, I tend to be drawn to guys that enjoy at least some form of athletics. The competitive side of me, maybe.
